Our History
RoomFifty launched in 2017 with a straightforward idea: make the world's best contemporary communicative art accessible to everyone. Founded by illustrator Leon Edler and Chris Clarke, creative director at The Guardian, the platform emerged from a gap both founders recognized in the market—there was nowhere that properly championed the exceptional work being created by commercial illustrators...
Our Ethos
-
Sustainable
From eco-friendly inks to sustainable materials and packaging, we minimise our impact on the planet. We work with a community of printers worldwide, so we can print closer to you and reduce carbon emissions.
-
Fair
We work with a diverse community of artists from around the world and pay them 50% of the profit from every sale. Fair pay and support for working artists has always been at the heart of what we do.
-
Fun
When we relaunched in November 2025, we agreed that whatever we did, it had to be fun. It’s easy to get very serious about art and lose the joy that it brings. We love art, we love the artists, we love you. Have fun.
Prints
Our prints are made using a museum-quality process (giclée) that delivers exceptional colour accuracy and detail. The colours are accurate and long-lasting, so your print will look great for years to come.
Framing
Each frame is carefully handcrafted and comes from sustainably managed forests—so you're getting quality wood that's good for the planet. The frames arrive ready to hang straight out of the box, with your print perfectly fitted inside. Choose from black, white or natural wood to match your vibe.
Paper
Our 200gsm Art Paper is a museum-quality paper made from sustainably sourced materials. It's got a smooth, non-reflective matte finish that makes colors pop without any glare – perfect for showcasing art and photography.
